...returning from Europe are unanimous in expressing the opinion that the Olympic games scheduled for Berlin in 1916 will in all probability have to be abondoned as a result of the war. There is evidence of a sentiment in favor of transferring the games to this or some other neutral nation, but in view of the condition that the majority of the nations will be in at the end of the war, it scarcely seems likely that they would be a success. Twenty-seven nations contributed 4,742 athletes in the Olympic games of 1912 at Stockholm, Sweden, and many...

On the following Friday, with a favoring wind and tide, the time was 21 minutes, 17 seconds. The record is 20 minutes, 10 seconds, made in 1888, but any crew which can row the distance in 21 minutes, 30 seconds, is making the average time row. A week ago the University crew covered the four miles in 21 minutes...
...Talcott from the Freshman four. In this order, the crew rowed over the two mile course for the first time, no attempt being made at fast work. Throughout the first mile, the stroke was maintained at 28, and in the last mile it was raised to 34. Under neutral weather conditions, there being no wind and no tide, the time given out for this last mile was 5 minutes and 15 seconds...
